    Reaching for the rainbow: Person-centred practice in palliative care
    (Foundation of Nursing Studies, 2020-05-13) Haraldsdottir, Erna; Donaldson, Kim; Lloyd, Anna; Barclay, Irene; McCormack, Brendan
    Background: Person-centred practice is inherently integrated in palliative care. However, it cannot be assumed that its underpinning values are lived out in day-to-day practice in a hospice. At St Columba’s Hospice, Edinburgh, the five-year strategy demonstrated commitment to person-centredness and this prompted an 18-month project focusing on the evaluation and development of a person-centred culture, taking a practice development approach.

    Person centred culture in a hospice: myth or reality? (Poster presentation)
    (BMJ Publishing Group Limited, 2018-03-01) Haraldsdottir, Erna; Donaldson, Kim; Barclay, Irene; Lloyd, Anna; McCormack, Brendan
    Background: Person centred care is inherently integrated into palliative care as one of its cornerstones. Having developed from a pioneering grass route movement to an established organisational structure the culture of palliative care has become increasingly influenced by routine and the need for standardised practice. This has challenged the capacity to foster creative, flexible and dynamic approaches to care that put the person at the centre. McCormack and McCance’s Person Centred Practice Framework (2017) is a theoretical framework that addresses such limitations. Using this framework as an underpinning theory in our research we aimed to assess and develop a person centred culture in a hospice.
